Objectives This study aimed to examine the effects of chronic periodontitis and essential hypertension on serum and salivary cartonectin (CTRP3) and procalcitonin (ProCT) levels. Methods 60 non-smokers were seperated into four groups as; 15 people with essential hypertension (EH) and chronic periodontitis (CP) (HT+ CP+), 15 with EH (HT+ CP-), 15 with CP (HT- CP+), 15 control (HT- CP-). PPD, CAL, PI and GI were measured. All groups had their serum and saliva samples collected. Serum and saliva procalcitonin (ProCT) were measured using an electroluminescence method, and cartonectin (CTRP3) levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results When compared to the control group, serum and saliva cartonectin (CTRP3) levels were considerably lower in all groups (respectively p<0.0001, p<0.0001). The serum cartonectin (CTRP3) levels were substantially higher in the HT- CP+ group than in the HT+ CP- group (p=0.002). Serum procalcitonin (ProCT) concentrations were found to be lowest in the HT- CP- group and highest in the HT+ CP+ group. Serum ProCT concentrations did not vary significantly across groups (p=0.110). Salivary procalcitonin (ProCT) levels were below the detection limit in all groups. Conclusions When periodontitis coexist with hypertension in individuals, they may have adversely affect each other due to the same sathways in the pathogenesis of these two disorders. So we can suggest that, serum and saliva cartonectin (CTRP3) may play a role during hypertension and periodontal inflammation and represent a novel future therapeutic target.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
